Don’t Miss Out on Steel Bridge Design, Fabrication and Erection Course

Steel Bridges – Design, Fabrication and Erection
May 5 & 6, 2011, Vancouver, British Columbia

This course covers the design, fabrication and construction of steel bridges based on CAN/CSA-S6-06, Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code and S6S1-10, Supplement #1. The course is intended to provide understanding on design theory and the rationale behind Code provisions as well as the application of specific Code formulae and requirements. The practical and economical aspects of fabrication, erection, choice of material and their impact on design will also be emphasized.

The presentations and the Course Notes include four design examples illustrating extensive design calculations for I-girders and box girders of straight and curved configurations. Topics receiving greater emphasis in 2011 include fatigue and brittle fracture, integral abutments, aesthetics and sustainability. Traditional topics such as design process and economics, highway bridge loads and methods of analysis, I-girder design, straight and curved box girder design, wind and seismic effects, fabrication and economical details, construction and erection methods have been updated.

Major changes and new provisions that were introduced in the tenth edition of CAN/CSA-S6 and affect the design of steel girders will be highlighted.
